The Wisconsin Badgers moved past the Montana Grizzlies 85-66 to advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday, taking advantage of their matchup en route to a blowout.
All week long, much of the talk around the Badgers was about the unfortunate circumstances with their draw, as the team was forced to make a quick turnaround at altitude just days after four games in the Big Ten Tournament.
Wisconsin put all that talk to rest on Thursday with their performance, closing strong to beat Montana by 19 in their second-biggest margin of victory ever in the NCAA Tournament.
